Sun Apr 20 23:20:00 UTC 2025: ## TIME Magazine Unveils 2025 TIME100 List, Showcasing Global Leaders Amidst Unprecedented Change

**NEW YORK, NY** – Amidst a rapidly shifting global landscape, marked most recently by President Trump’s disruptive tariff plan, TIME magazine has released its 2025 TIME100 list, highlighting 100 influential individuals shaping the world. The list, in partnership with Rolex, is the largest yet, culminating in a daylong summit and gala broadcast on ABC and Hulu on May 4th.

This year’s selection reflects the complex forces at play. A record number of corporate CEOs (16) are featured, suggesting a new generation of business leaders stepping into a leadership void. Simultaneously, the list includes six members of the Trump administration, the largest contingent from a single administration since Barack Obama’s, underscoring the impact of current political disruptions. Nine individuals fighting for justice, equality, and democracy are also represented. The diverse list spans 32 countries, ranging in age from 22-year-old Olympian Léon Marchand to 84-year-old Nobel laureate and interim Bangladeshi leader Muhammad Yunus.

TIME’s extensive reporting features in-depth profiles of five cover subjects: Snoop Dogg, whose cultural influence is explored; Google DeepMind CEO and Nobel Prize winner Demis Hassabis, discussing AI’s transformative potential; Serena Williams, detailing her post-tennis career ventures; Ed Sheeran, reflecting on his creative journey; and Demi Moore, discussing her evolving career and perspectives on women in their 60s.

The 2025 TIME100, a project overseen by Dan Macsai and Cate Matthews, is described as a year-long endeavor of research and debate, highlighting the power of individual contributions to global change. Two new TIME100 franchises focused on philanthropy and digital creators will also launch this year. The magazine emphasizes that even amidst uncertainty and the unpredictable nature of global events, the TIME100 continues to serve as a vital compass for understanding the forces shaping our future.
